that's good your doc does that, we had one that did that once. I tried to use the mail in service and get 3 months' worth, but I had to express the script since it's only good for 7 days. Well, one didn't get to the PHARMACY until after that, although it arrived at the service within the time. another one was lost and my PCP wouldn't write another script. so, I had to go through the hassle of finding another psychiatrist to see and get a script from them. After a few weeks, my PCP called and said the script hadn't gone through and was void after 7 days, so she would refill again. After all that mess, I just pick it up at the doc's office. 30 pills lasts her more than a month anyway.

I have been told controlled: 6 months, non controlled: 12 months, CII: 7 days (at least here in TX) My only experience is with ritalin, Adderall and Demerol. 'course the demerol I got filled immediately. Once, the doc's office talked of charging me for another Adderall script cuz I waited *8* days, but they didn't.
